A round mandrel will fight you the whole way if the bangle is meant to be square. This former carries a continuous rounded-square profile along a 14-inch taper, so contemporary bangles formed from square or rectangular stock keep their geometry without distorted corners. It suits copper, brass and other non-ferrous stock as readily as precious metal.

Solid wood is deliberate: it will not mark or scratch the metal being worked over it, and the surface is sanded smooth so bangles slide on and off without snagging. The taper covers a range of bangle sizes along its length. Like any wooden former, keep it clean and dry and it will hold its profile.

  • Features a continuous rounded-square profile for shaping contemporary bangles.
  • Tapered along its length to accommodate a range of bangle sizes during forming.
  • Crafted from solid wood to prevent marking or scratching precious metals.
  • Sanded smooth to allow metal to be worked and removed without snagging.
  • All stock is held in the UK, ready for immediate dispatch to your workshop.

Common questions at the bench

UK or US sizing?
Our steel ring mandrels carry both UK alphabetical and US numerical scales unless the product specifically notes UK-only or US-only in the description. Hardwood and aluminium mandrels are unmarked — use a separate ring sizer to measure.
Can I hammer directly against the mandrel?
Steel mandrels yes — that is what they are designed for. Hardwood mandrels are for forming and finishing only; hammering against them dents the wood and marks the workpiece. Aluminium mandrels: light planishing only, no forging.
What is a stepped mandrel for?
Stepped (tiered) mandrels let you work batches of rings or bangles in fixed standard sizes — useful for production work where you are making matched pairs or a series. Tapered mandrels suit one-off resizing where you need every size in between.
How do I store it without rust?
Wipe with a light camellia or 3-in-1 oil after wet work or polishing, then store in a dry drawer or wall rack. A small silica gel pack in the drawer is cheap insurance against humidity in unheated workshops.
